When writing a blog post to include in the blog module, you can use one of 6 different post formats. Article, video, audio, quote, gallery and link. Each of these formats structures your article differently, with more emphasis on the type of contents represented by the format.
When you write a blog post you will notice a box to the right of your text editor called "Format". In this box are the 6 format options. If you choose "Standard" you will get a normally formatted blog post, while each other option will have a unique design associated with the format type.
Using the video publishing format
Selecting the video post format will place a video at the top of your post. It will also replace the standard thumbnail image on index pages with an embedded video. Once you have selected the “Video” post format in the Format Options box, the next thing to do is add a video to your post. The theme will automatically use the first video in your post as the video format. To add a video to your post, simply enter the URL of your video (Vimeo or YouTube) in the post editor or use the “Add Media” button to upload and embed your own video file.
Using the audio article format
Selecting the audio article format will display an audio player on your article. It will also replace the standard thumbnail image on index pages with your audio player. The audio player plays the first audio file you embed in your article. To add an audio file to your post, use the “Add Media” button to upload your audio file. There is no embedding of the audio file. Once you upload a file, the theme automatically uses it for the post you're currently editing. Audio file should be downloaded when editing the article.
Use the Quote Publishing Format
The quote post format will display a stylized quote at the top of your post. The quote will also replace the standard thumbnail image on all index pages. Once selected, the audio post format will use the first Blockquote in your post as contents quote. Block quotes can be easily added from the post editor. Simply highlight your text, then press the blockquote button to turn it into a quote.
Use the publication format of the gallery
The gallery post format will display an image gallery at the top of your post. It will also replace the standard thumbnail image on all index pages with an image slider. Once selected, the Gallery post format will use the first gallery you added to your post. Galleries can be added to your post using WordPress Media Editor. Just click on the "Add a mediaTo create a gallery and add it to your post.
Using the link publishing format
The Link post format will create a stylized link and add it to the top of your post. This is ideal for sharing short information with your readers. When selected, the link post format will use the first link in your post as the primary link URL. The link will be placed at the top of your article, and it will also replace the standard thumbnail on all index pages. To add a link to your post, you can use the "link" button in the WordPress post editor.
That's it for the selection of post formats available on Divi.
